2015-2016 school year reflection of Graphic Design

The floaty light is a group project focused on the five guarantees; of which we mainly focused on project management, collaboration, communication, and technical skills. Our management we got our project done and ready to print on time. For we as a group we easily agree on what our project should be, the cartons shape and the logo that we put on it. Also, we think the graphic placements are spectacular as well. Communication was a key part of the process during the project, as the group had to agree on ideas before moving on. Additionally, technical skills come into play during any part of the process, as errors may be encountered, and ideas must be tested to work. For us to be able to collaborate we had to agree on what it was we were going to do first; which we did rather well in our group. With all of our technical skills combined we eventually came out with the box for our product the floaty light and its box.

Masks

These are the masks I done with in the tutorial and I had did it with cropping, blend in the titles on the picture, changing the color, shadow, and blur towards the picture itself too. For one the Scuba is crop and added the title"SCUBA". The corn is give granite shade, color it in, and add title"Corn". the bird is crop and added title "BIRD PO". The blur picture is crop, blur around the picture and title "Fun Time".  

Object shadows

The object shadow was a good process to know the difference on how to make a object on screen to reflect in a real life shadow effect on object itself. The object I used was a basketball. It has reflection from light to making of the shadow underneath the ball. The ball also has a title called "Be the Ball". 

professional logo

This is one of my professional logo made by a tutorial on a video by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRJs6nJAZ2c. I had put up the logo with my initials bottom of the logo.  

My personal logo/tutorial

My logo was started by the title of the font I used was Lucida fax for my name. Next the colors are purple,dark purple,and black. Shapes on my logo is a rectangle and a triangle. My motto is "Life Is A Challenge". It means that what you are doing here is working hard at work that it may seemed to be difficult,but will get with its process. The rectangle represents structure in a working view, and the triangle shows the climb to achievements on top like a mountain would.

Tutorial 


1. the shape 
The start of my logo was the shapes I'd used to get the theme of my logo to what it looks. The rectangle represents the structure of working hard during work. the triangle represents the levels of achieving a goal to the top, like the top of a mountain. The way I did it first was the rectangle tool, then stretch it down to give shape. Then I used the polygon tool to make a triangle, then put it on the triangle in the middle and group them together.

2. the font
The font I'd used is Lucida Fax for both my name and motto on it. First I type the text, large it to fit with the size of the shapes. The motto i leave it below my name small.

3. colour
The color I blend in with purple to mixture of dark purple on both my shapes and lettering.
